A few days ago, my friend called me and asked why is my electric fireplace beeping.
So, I ask him how long has been you haven’t changed your remote batteries. and he said it’s been a few years.
Now, I know one of the reasons why his electric fireplace makes a beeping sound. so, now you need to make sure that your remote batteries are not old.
If your electric fireplace is making beeping noises then you must change the old batteries.
Don’t worry it is not a big issue to worry about, it can be solved easily after ensuring and adjusting a few things here and there.
In this blog post, I am suggesting a few things that I have talked about that you need to ensure to stop the beeping sound coming from your electric fireplace.
Why Is My Electric Fireplace Beeping?
4 Reasons, why the electric fireplace is beeping that, ‘s because of these reasons:
#1 Dead Batteries
If you see a red blinking light on the electric fireplace along with a beeping sound then this issue may be caused by dead batteries because of the dead or weak batteries in your remote.
And because of the dead or weak batteries, the signal transfer is stopped, and can’t transfer the signal to the electric fireplace receiver which causes all these issues.
Ensuring whether the batteries are dead or not can be checked easily that you can try.
Should this be the cause, a red light will flash on your electric fireplace and a beeping noise will sound when you press the remote control.
#2 Faulty Signal Receiver
Many times we only focus on finding the issue inside the remote but sometimes the issue resides in the unit.
So, we need to inspect your electric fireplace, especially the signal receiver it might be the reason your electric fireplace makes beeping noises.
Damage to the signal receiver also leads to an electric fireplace beeping issue which can only be resolved by replacing the signal receiver.
#3 The Electric Fireplace Sensors have Detected certain Problems
Maybe the problems you are facing are not caused because of batteries or signal receivers.
maybe it could happen because of something else that your fireplace sensor is detecting, and indicating the issue with a beeping sound such as overheating or low power indicator.
If that is the case then check all the settings of the electric fireplace and the position it is installed in can cause some issues inside also. Make sure the settings, unit temperature, and the installation process all are right according to the manufacturer installation guide/manual.
#4 The Problem lies within the Malfunctioning Internal Components
After all, it is a machine, and machines are not meant to work perfectly for decades, it will show some issues while used for years.
Sometimes the issues are malfunctioning internal components which is normal if you using the same heating unit for years.
If you find that your fireplace’s internal component is damaged or malfunctioning, consider inspecting the electric fireplace with the help of a professional and take steps according to the professional.
Repairing the components or replacing them depends on the condition of the components.
How do I Fix and stop the beeping sound on Electric fireplaces?
1) Change your Remote Control Batteries.
It is the most easy action you can take to stop the beeping issue of the electric fireplace. just changed the batteries of the remote control.
If changing the batteries of the remote control didn’t solve the issue then check out more tips to fix the issue.
2) Check for any Error codes
Error codes are the signs through which the electric fireplace indicates the issues that are sensed by the sensors.
This can be a minor issue but sometimes it indicates some major issue that needs to be resolved immediately, otherwise it can cause some serious damage to your electric fireplace.
Fix the error code issue then check if the beeping noise is gone or still present.
Referring to the manufacturer’s manual helps a lot in solving the error because different electric fireplace has different signs according to the manufacturer or the model allotted to them.
3) Inspect the internal components of your fireplace
Many times we only examine the outside of the unit but sometimes the issues occur inside, and you are unaware of it.
- Check the condition of the motors if they are dirty and clogged with dust or debris then cleaning them may help.
- Check the wiring if it is loose or damaged then change it.
- Look for any corrosion on the internal components in the heating unit, preparing them might help.
So, properly check the internal components of the unit, and if you don’t know how to check then refer to the manufacturer’s guide manual.
But still, if you are not comfortable doing this thing then call a professional.
4) Inspect the Remote Control Receiver of the fireplace
Inspect the remote control receiver of the fireplace, after checking the remote batteries it is also important to check the remote control receiver which receives the signal from the remote.
If the signal sent by remote is not received then it can be an issue of the receiver checking the receiver with the help of the manufacturer’s instruction manual.
Check for any physical damage on the receiver, and if no physical damage is visible then try resetting it by turning off it and then turning on it after some 10-20 minutes. Notice that any beeping sound comes out.
If it still making a beeping sound then your electric fireplace is suffering from some different issue, which can only be resolved if some professional inspects the unit physically.
